We can detect the malicious files from either Maldet scan or you can use the plugins also. Here we will discuss how to detect with plugin and then cleaning them.

  1. We will use Malcare plugin to detect and clean the malicious .ico files.

5. Simply click on “Auto-clean” button.
6. In a few minutes, the plugin will clean your site and display a prompt that your site is clean. That’s it, you’re done!
